There is a food recipe available that enables you to track beasts for an hour. This ability really shines for the turkinator achievement.

For alliance Track beasts Does not help, as Boars and mangy wolves get in the way on your mini map,As Horde the tirisfal bats get on the map, whatever class you are theres an easy solution, it took me 2 minutes on a hunter to do...You must kill 40 turkeys, therefore making this macro saves you time and aggravation in lookin on the minimap...HORDE= Get as close to SM as possible there is a huge field covered in turkeys. ALLIANCE= Get as close to Eastvale logging camp.Make a macro that looks like this/Target Wild/cast <Insert fast ranged attack here>Thats what i did and just put in auto shot and when i got near enough even if i didnt see it i shot and killed. took me a whole 2 minutes to complete and get acheiv.Also someone mentioned you can level cooking absurdly fast in this weeks time, which is true i got cooking and from 1-344 in less than an hour.
Also, levelling your cooking from 1-330 or better is ridiculously cheap as well. Since most of the components cost coppers apiece, you can get all that Cooking done with just a few gold.--Jed
The animated turkey on wowhead is a nice touch guys. Hope you do something like this for each holiday.
Are the SW/IF chairs still missing?

That Turkinator achievement is a pain. My first attempt at it got me to 39 kills. AT that 29th kill I look around to see five other people around me, they all just mounted up and ran off in every direction. I knew I was SoL.I also spent an hour on my last rogue to zap. 30 minutes to find a gnome rogue. 30 minutes of following it until it mounted and removed the turkey buff, just so I could immediately shoot them again for my pilgrim title.The third annoyance of this season was the dailies. The cooks at Orgimmar say to cook sweet potatoes and turn them at Undercity. Outside Thunder Buff they want pumpkin pies sent to Undercity. At the Undercity they want cranberries sent to Thunder bluff and stuffing sent to Orgimmar. I am just glad I choose the faction with a five minute zeppelin between either continent directly outside the towns.
If the Turkey Lurker achievement is a pain, I have a two word suggestion for you...Trial Account!Create a trial acct, roll rogues for the races you are missing, go to their starting area, log onto both accounts (simply run two copies of WoW on the same computer), and zap the "trial" rogue. Might take a bit to get to each race's starting location, but it might be easier and faster than trying to find a non-turkeyized rogue for some of the races.I did this, but actually ran the alliance rogues on the trial account all the way to Orgrimmar. Yeah, it took a while (about 3 hrs), but I used them to get the achievement on all of my toons. After I was done, I mentioned in the Trade Channel that I had Alliance rogues of several races parked outside Org in case anyone else needed to complete their achievement. I just did this to be nice, but without even asking for it, I was given over 300g in tips. I guess you'd call that karma. :-P
The Turkinator has got to be one of Blizzards biggest holiday failures ever. Apparently they tested with no one else on the realm and had plenty of turkeys. Limited it to two small areas was pretty dumb, they should have put them outside of every city and made the re-spawn a little faster. I have no issues with most (90%) of the holiday goals but this one was just terrible. On a busy server if you get 20 in a row you're lucky.
I found that using the 10 day trial account for creating the rogue alt is easy enough. For Alliance, they cannot create Blood Elf Rogue, so you'll need a bit of help. For horde, you can create EVERY SINGLE rogue in the game, and complete this achievement easily.
